Talk about good timing. On Friday I published Transwomen Incarceration about the plight of transwomen in local, state and federal detention.
SCOTUS yesterday refused to take up Wisconsin's appeal of a ruling that a 2006 Wisconsin law banning medical treatment of transgender inmates violated the 8th Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment.
